PwC is going to ignore graduates' A-level results when recruiting. (This surprises me. When I was being recruited as a trainee chartered accountant, and when I was recruiting trainee chartered accountants, it was generally accepted that A-level grades were the best indication of future success in ACA exams, far more so than class of degree.)

The typographic mistakes article gave me flashbacks to my Ph.D. After I'd submitted my very first draft of my very first research on my very first chapter, my supervisor covered it in red ink and explained all of the typographic and punctuation errors. He told me, in no uncertain terms, that my success as his student depended on the mastery of the distinction between the hyphen, the en-dash, and the em-dash.

That set the tone for the next five years. I passed my viva simply to spite him.
